Trout went 1-for-3 with a home run and a stolen base in Monday's 4-2 loss to the White Sox.

Trout reached the 30-homer plateau for the fourth time at the ripe age of 25, becoming the 10th player in major-league history to accomplish the feat. It is even more impressive when you consider the superstar missed six weeks of action this season with a thumb injury. The Angels' playoff hopes appear to be dwindling, but Trout can still make an impact for his owners' teams who are currently in the fantasy playoffs.

Heaney (shoulder) threw a bullpen session Tuesday and said afterward that it went well, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

He has been out for more than two weeks with an impingement in his shoulder. It sounds like Heaney wants to start another game before the end of the season, and Tuesday's activity was step toward achieving that goal, but there is currently no set date for his return to action. The lefty has really struggled with the long ball this season, giving up 12 homers in just 21.2 innings with the big club.

Nolasco (6-15) allowed four runs -- two earned -- on seven hits and a walk while striking out four batters through five innings to take the loss against the White Sox on Monday.

While Nolasco has now allowed just six earned runs through 16 innings over his last three starts, he still sports a crippling 5.02 ERA and 1.45 WHIP for the campaign. Further discouraging, the 34-year-old righty is also without a win since Aug. 16. Nolasco projects to make his final start of the season against Seattle at Angel Stadium.

Petit gave up one hit while striking out three over a scoreless eighth inning in Sunday's 7-5 win over the Astros.

Petit got back on track with a dominant outing after giving up six runs over his last two appearances. The 32-year-old had converted a pair of saves earlier this month as manager Mike Scioscia deployed a carousel of relievers in the ninth, but Petit's recent implosion combined with Sunday's usage in the eighth inning just further reinforced Blake Parker's role as the team's primary closer. It is probably safe to move on from the veteran as a source of saves in shallower formats.

Phillips went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run, two RBI and a pair of runs scored in Sunday's 7-5 win over the Astros.

It was the veteran second baseman's 12th homer of the season, but just his first since joining the Angels at the beginning of September. Phillips was slashing .256/.266/.321 over his previous 18 games, so manager Mike Scioscia moved him from the leadoff spot to fifth in the order Sunday. The lineup shift paid immediate dividends for the 36-year-old, and considering it coincided with the Angels snapping their six-game losing streak, this configuration will likely stick for the remainder of the season.
